“For the activity of the mind is life”
“A mind too active is no mind at all.”
“It is a mistake to think of the body as a vessel. It is as active as any mind, as any soul. And the more you give yourself to it, the harder your life will be.”
“So much simplicity with so much understanding — so mild, and yet so resolute — a mind so placid, and a life so active.”
“An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.”
“To an active mind, indolence is more painful than labor.”
